Benign neoplasm of uterine tubes and ligaments
ICD-10 D28.2 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of benign neoplasm of uterine tubes and ligaments.
Benign neoplasms of the uterine tubes and ligaments are non-cancerous growths that can occur in the female reproductive system. These neoplasms may arise from the smooth muscle, connective tissue, or epithelial cells of the uterine tubes or the ligaments supporting the uterus. Common types include leiomyomas (fibroids) and adenomas. Symptoms may vary, with some patients experiencing pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or pressure symptoms, while others may be asymptomatic. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and histological examination may be required for definitive diagnosis. Management often includes monitoring for changes in size or symptoms, and surgical intervention may be necessary if the neoplasm causes significant discomfort or complications. Follow-up care is essential to monitor for recurrence or the development of new growths, especially in patients with a history of benign neoplasms.
Detailed patient history, imaging results, and treatment plans must be documented.
Patients presenting with pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or incidental findings on imaging.
Ensure accurate coding of the neoplasm's location and size, and document any surgical interventions performed.
Histopathological reports must clearly indicate the benign nature of the neoplasm.
Pathological examination of tissue samples from surgical procedures.
Accurate reporting of histological findings is crucial for proper coding.
Used when a benign neoplasm is surgically removed.
Document the indication for surgery and findings during the procedure.
Ensure that the surgical specialty aligns with the procedure performed.
Common symptoms include pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and pressure symptoms. However, many patients may be asymptomatic.
